After researching on the internet and watching confusing videos I decided to find a professional who could help me with my nutrition plan and this is when I found Rosanne at RNC.

I was going to the gym and trying different things I read about but not making very good progress. I started to wonder if the information I was reading and the things my friends were telling me might not be the best plan for me. Rosanne clarified things for me and separated the truth from the nutrition “myths”.

Since coming to see Rosanne, I have changed my way of eating dramatically and I now eat mostly really healthy foods. I still have the odd treat or cheat meal, but I enjoy the healthy food I eat now and find it gives me energy for my workouts.

I have lost 15 kgs and 5% body fat so far and I’m still committed to my new lifestyle as I feel better and a lot more energy. Rosanne has never asked me to quit drinking or make any changes I was not comfortable with and this had made the process easy.

Most importantly of all, my new eating habits have influenced my family and they are creating new healthy habits a well. I actually brought both of my sons in for sessions to see Rosanne and they are making changes too, which is important because my younger son is a competitive swimmer.

It’s been great to get some sound advice and to be able to separate fact from fiction. I would definitely recommend Rosanne if you are looking to improve your health and fitness, your body composition and to manage your weight.

Thank you Rosanne and RNC. The support and strategies you have taught us have made such a positive long-term difference to our lives and we are extremely grateful to you. After several years of weight gain, unsuccessful dieting and feeling self conscious about being overweight I joined RNC along with my son. Rosanne and Helen have been amazing.

They have given us the support and knowledge to change our lives. I have lost over 10kg and kept it off for over a year. I am now able to look and feel great. I much more energetic and I can now fully participate in life! I recently got back on a horse, a dream I would not have thought possible without RNC.

The coaching sessions have also helped my son achieve his goals. He has lost 15 kg and achieved his career goal.

Thank you Rosanne and RNC. The support and strategies you have taught us have made such a positive long-term difference to our lives and we are extremely grateful to you.

When i first came to Results Nutrition Center to see Helen, I was self concious, under performing in crossfit, unhappy with my body and embarrassed. After my first visit with Helen, i started getting results immediately. My body fat dropped, I got stronger, I was performing better each week and began to really love my body again. All while eating from a balanced nutrition program that didnt make me feel deprived or like I was on a strict plan. Read more

Since starting with Helen, I have lost 10kg, I am a better athlete, I continue to get stronger and faster, and I have never had a better relationship with food and with my body! RNC and Helens personalised approach meant that I got results and continue to get results without having to go on a crazy diet, like I have in the past. I am now at my goal body (both physically and performance wise). I cannot reccommend RNC and Helen enough. I have been to other nutritionists and can say that Helens approach has allowed me to have the best results and keep them long term!! Helen and RNC have changed my outlook on food and nutrition, my body, my performance and have had such a positive impact on my life!

I have now lost 40kg in 15 months, and gained the honour of being the client who has lost the most weight in Catherine’s career. I wear my plastic crown with pride! I have completed a half marathon and look forward to more fitness challenges in the coming year.

A colleague of mine was seeing Catherine and had experienced some great results. She’d lost 10kg and seemed to eat so much food! I was rather curious, almost jealous if you like, but I hid behind excuses. Too expensive, not enough time, blah blah blah. Then one day in my office I suffered chest pains. I was 31 years old and weighed 114kg – and I thought I was having a heart attack.

That day was a complete turning point for me. After seeing my GP and realising that I was not, in fact, suffering anything more severe than indigestion, I asked my colleague for Catherine’s details and made that first appointment.

I knew from that first day that I had made the right choice, and that this was a decision that would change my life. For me the important thing was that I made the decision, no one else pressured me into it. Catherine is wonderful. For a start, she’s been there herself. SHE GETS IT. She understands the difficulties, the stress and the realities of trying to change your lifestyle for good, and she’s REAL.

I have now lost 40kg in 15 months, and gained the honour of being the client who has lost the most weight in Catherine’s career. I wear my plastic crown with pride! I have completed a half marathon and look forward to more fitness challenges in the coming year.

I will continue to see Catherine regularly for the foreseeable future, not only does she advise me on nutrition she has also become a great friend and confidante. I truly believe that you’re only as strong as the willpower you have, and Catherine has fuelled that willpower in me. Thank you, Catherine, and the team at RNC, for helping me to change my life.

I really wanted to write a letter of thanks to you. I feel like I have now got the knowledge and tools to deal with my nutritional challenges. I definitely would not be close to my goal weight or as strong a person without your help and advice. Read more

I'm very thankful that Nikki suggested that I speak to you, I was very worried about seeing a nutritionist. I had gained weight with a dietician, had exercised without a change in weight and tried the 1200 calorie restriction. And luckily for me you turned out to be a life changing person in my life.

You are a very open, non judgmental and encouraging person. Also I feel like you're a life coach helping me with my stress responses. I obviously have fallen off the band wagon and made a few bad choices along the way with food but you have never been judgmental. I think I get more disappointed at myself. This has helped me so much and allowed me to be successful in achieving many of my goals alongside increasing my confidence.

I went to RNC in 2016 looking for some structure around my eating, and to lose a few kilos. Working with Rosanne I achieved on both counts in a short amount of time. Rosanne worked with me to come up with an eating plan that was doable and fitted in well with my schedule.

What I really liked was the way she leveraged and tweaked my existing diet so that I didn't feel like I was having to make radical changes. I am so grateful for the awareness I now have around what foods work well for me, and how much and how often I should be eating. Thanks so much Rosanne for your expertise and your sound, practical advice.

Helen is a complete professional who is very knowledgeable and up to date with the latest nutritional information. I would recommend Helen to anyone who is seeking nutritional advice/guidance.Read more

So there I was happily pregnant with my second boy …I swore up and down that I was not going to put on the same amount of weight I did with my first! I was getting the final weigh-in before meeting my little man, standing on the scales with the number unseen kindly being blocked by my bulging belly… “What does it say?” I whispered to my husband. With widened eyes he whispered back a number but wisely did not add any comment. Not only did I put the same amount of weight on but I had gained an additional 4kg!! Here I was sitting “uncomfortably” in the triple figures telling myself that this one was just going to be another big baby and I was holding a ridiculous amount of water. Yes he was a big baby but he was not 15kg!!! What I was holding was a ridiculous amount of fat!!!

I figured breastfeeding would melt away the additional kilograms but no such luck; the scales seemed to favour numbers that I did not favour and they refused to budge. Finally I had had enough and decided to enlist the help of the wonderful Helen Ross at RNC.

Being a mother herself she could relate to my struggles and issues with food and understood the demands of having two youngsters and the little time you have to look after yourself. She made me feel completely at ease and confident that I could get back into decent shape again. I left the initial consultation feeling so motivated clutching a folder with a plan of action. Helen had created a delicious food plan based around foods I enjoyed eating and she had given me realistic exercise guidelines that would fit into my busy schedule. For two weeks I followed that plan religiously and managed to squeeze in some exercise. I never felt hungry, deprived or lacking in energy. I proudly turned up to my next appointment with a perfect food diary. I jumped on Helen’s scales and BOOM I had lost over 4kg!! So needless to say I kept Helen on….;-) To date I have lost 12kg and am back to my pre-baby weight. I meet with Helen weekly to monthly depending on how motivated I’m feeling. It’s still a work in progress as it’s a lifestyle change not a fad diet quick fix. I have an additional 6kg to my goal weight and I’m really confident that I will achieve this. I’ve had some ups and downs due to my insatiable sweet tooth that tends to rear its ugly head every now and again and in the past has been my undoing. What I find great about Helen is she continually comes up with solutions/ideas to help me break my sugary habit once and for all and I’m finding that I’m implementing these approaches with success.

I enjoy our follow ups, she is awesome to talk to, motivating and understands it’s more than just throwing a food plan together and expecting you to follow it. She knows each individual is different when it comes to losing weight.

Catherine was excellent! She understood exactly how I felt, she made me see the importance of eating right and portion control. Together we wrote a list of the foods I like eating and with this list Catherine crafted an eating plan for me, each meal was carefully constructed with the right balance of protein, carbohydrate and vegetables.Read more

After having spent the past 6 years either pregnant or breast feeding I thought it was time to do something about the weight I had gained through each of my 3 pregnancies. I was recommended to Catherine Harvey by a friend from my coffee group. I had seen the transformation in my friend and thought why not give it a go.

I went to see Catherine on the 17th January 2012, and had a real wakeup call when I weighed in at 78kgs, which is quite a bit of excess weight on my 5ft 4inch frame. I was close to a size 14, this is the largest I had been in years and although I had not wanted to admit it, my weight had been slowly creeping up even before I started having babies, but once I got pregnant with my first baby 6 years ago, it was just seemed a lot harder to move. Looking back I realise I didn't have the right tools to do this!

Catherine was excellent! She understood exactly how I felt, she made me see the importance of eating right and portion control. Together we wrote a list of the foods I like eating and with this list Catherine crafted an eating plan for me, each meal was carefully constructed with the right balance of protein, carbohydrate and vegetables.

In fact I could not believe the amount of food I was allowed to eat and I kept saying to Catherine that the new eating plan gave me more food that I was used to eating in a day. The important difference being that it was the right food and correct portion size for me. I stuck to the eating plan religiously, along with regular gym work outs of 3 - 4 times a week and slowly started to see results and feel a lot better.

In the first 2 weeks of seeing Catherine, I lost 2kgs! This was exactly the result I needed to keep my motivation up. And over the next few months I saw even more change. Slowly my body started changing and people started noticing the improvements to my body along with the change in my levels of energy, confidence and personality. I have always been a very bubbly person, but I feel now I really am the person I am meant to be.

In total I have lost 20 kgs, and now weigh in at between 58 - 59kgs. This is the best I have felt and looked in years . In fact when I got married 10 years ago, I weighed 57kgs! So I feel weighing 58kgs now after having 3 children at the ripe old age of 36 is not bad going.

I absolutely love my new body, and have to thank Catherine for her support, encouragement and understanding. Although I put in the hard work of discipline and exercise I could not have done it without Catherine. She was incredibly understanding when I lost a little motivation, she would say "tomorrow is a new day" and "all is not lost". She understood that some days were a lot hard than others and there were times that when dinner out with friends and a good time was more important than an eating plan. She would say "just enjoy yourself, have a nice meal out with your friends and then focus back on what you need to do tomorrow!" This level of understanding and support really helped keep me focused.

I have recommended Catherine and the services offered by RNC to a number of people and will keep singing the praises of Catherine and the very friendly and professional team at RNC.

I found the follow up appointments with Rosanne just as benificial as the first. She keeps you motivated and on track. If you are looking to change your body shape, get fit or just feel better I highly reccomend seeing Rosanne.Read more

Over the last few years I have been trying to get my body into shape, going to yhe gym alternating work outs and tried every supplement under the sun.

I did get results but couldnt shift by body fat especially around my stomach.

At the time I thought I was eating really well (everything google and friends tell you to eat).

As a last ditch effort I booked in to see Roasanne at RNC. I went for my consult, had a chat and had my meaurements taken.

The meal plan she gave me made life easier, I knew exactly what to eat, how much and when.

I still had to work hard but at least I knew I wasnt cacelling out the work I had done with the wrong food. And the best thing was I was starting to see results.
